FHF — Fiskeri- og havbruksnæringens forskningsfinansiering funds applied research and development for the Norwegian seafood industry through a mandatory 0.3% levy on seafood exports, operating as a state-owned company under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries. This call allocates 6 million NOK for the development of an industrial robotic solution to sort by-products — specifically offal and viscera — from white fish processing lines (Norwegian: Utvikling av industriell løsning for robotisert utsortering av innmat fra hvitfisk). The deadline was 29 May 2026, placing this call in a closed or recently closed status. By-product sorting from white fish is a labour-intensive step in Norwegian fish processing plants; robotic automation of this step is expected to improve throughput, reduce costs, and increase the quality and consistency of separated by-product streams for downstream valorisation. Eligible applicants include Norwegian-registered for-profit companies, non-profits, universities, and research organisations; individuals may not apply, and international participation requires a Norwegian lead entity with ID-porten portal access. The call falls within FHF's processing program, which also encompasses product quality and the sustainable use of marine by-products. FHF's 2026 product quality and processing budget line stands at approximately 36.4 million NOK across relevant projects.
